Welcome to SR-Box

Send-Recieve-Box controller

This acts as a factorio game server controller that teleports chest contents from one server to another WORK IN PROGRESS

You need a minimum of 3 computers (or VMs) to make this work. one SR-Box controller, and two (or more) game servers. We're still working out the limits of how much material, and servers a single controller can handle.

Goals: create Cross-server teleport chests without any player mods necessary.

Inspiration: Clusterio, Gridlock

Thanks to: The Python RCON library guy.

1. git clone https://github.com/doctrosix/SR-Box.git
2. Copy server.list.example to server.list and update with your server RCON parameters. Assign each server in your teleport network a unique integer ID
3. In one shell, run while true; do timeout 10 ./findcombis.py <SERVERID1>; sleep 5; done
4. In another shell, run while true; do timeout 10 ./findcombis.py <SERVERID2>; sleep 5; done
5. In another shell, run ./executeteleports.py
6. In game, now you can set up a steel chest with an adjacent constant combinator with the following signals: {S OR R} for Send or Receive AND I. The value of S or R represents the send or receive channel. The value of I is the teleport network server ID you are sending to or receiving from. For example, Server 16 can send to server 27 by making a steel chest on server 16 with a combinator adjacent to it with value S=44 and I=27. On Server 27, we make a steel chest with combinator adjacent to it with R=44 and I=16. Matches are done on a first come first serve basis using find_entities_filtered.

8. Profit.

Next steps:

-[ ] Optimize code for less reconnects
-[ ] Burn testing to find rough mass-teleport limits
-[ ] cross-server transaction confirmation
-[ ] Add security, and SSH tunnels. all RCON traffic is currently plain text.
